There is an increasing need for data scientists and
analysts to understand relational data stores.
Organizations have long used SQL databases to store
transactional data as well as business intelligence
related data. If you need to work with SQL databases,
this course is designed to help you learn how to
perform common data science tasks, including
finding, exploration, and extraction within relational
databases.
The course begins with a brief overview of SQL. Then
the five major topics a data scientist should
understand when working with relational databases:
basic statistics in SQL, data preparation in SQL,
advanced filtering and data aggregation, window
functions, and preparing data for use with analytics
tools.
